A robust single and multiple moving object detection, tracking and classification

T. Mahalingam, M. Subramoniam

Surveillance is the emerging concept in the current technology, as it plays a vital role in monitoring keen activities at the nooks and corner of the world. Among which moving…

Ensemble of convolutional neural networks for bioimage classification

Loris Nanni, Stefano Ghidoni, Sheryl Brahnam

This work presents a system based on an ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and descriptors for bioimage classification that has been validated on different datasets…

Routing and schedule simulation of a biomass energy supply chain through SimPy simulation package

T.M. Pinho, J.P. Coelho, P.M. Oliveira, B. Oliveira, A. Marques, J. Rasinmäki, A.P. Moreira, G. Veiga, J. Boaventura-Cunha

The optimisation of forest fuels supply chain involves several entities actors, and particularities. To successfully manage these supply chains, efficient tools must be devised…

A review on multi-criteria decision-making for energy efficiency in automotive engineering

Djan Magalhaes Castro, Fernando Silv Parreiras

Governments around the world instituted guidelines for calculating energy efficiency of vehicles not only by models, but by the whole universe of new vehicles registered. This…

Difference of two norms-regularizations for Q-Lasso

Abdellatif Moudafi

The focus of this paper is in Q-Lasso introduced in Alghamdi et al. (2013) which extended the Lasso by Tibshirani (1996). The closed convex subset Q belonging in a Euclidean m…

Pricing schemes for air traffic services through multi-level approaches

Rabah Guettaf, Félix Mora-Camino

This article addresses the problem of air traffic service (ATS) pricing over a domestic air transportation system with either private or public ATS providers. In both cases, to…

Minor complexity of discrete functions

Slavcho Shtrakov

In this paper we study a class of complexity measures, induced by a new data structure for representing k-valued functions (operations), called minor decision diagram. When…

Segmentation based traversing-agent approach for road width extraction from satellite images using volunteered geographic information

Prajowal Manandhar, Prashanth Reddy Marpu, Zeyar Aung

We make use of the Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) data to extract the total extent of the roads using remote sensing images. VGI data is often provided only as vector…

The personalization of e-learning systems with the contrast of strategic knowledge and learner’s learning preferences: an investigatory analysis

Alan Mustafa

In this study, reasons for proving the relevancy of personalisation of e-learning systems to act as a knowledge management system in which tacit to tacit type of knowledge…

Classification assessment methods

Alaa Tharwat

Classification techniques have been applied to many applications in various fields of sciences. There are several ways of evaluating classification algorithms. The analysis of…
